The Anderson model (which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2008) is among most popular topics in the random matrix and operator theory. However, so far the attention here was concentrated on single-particle models, where the random external potential is either IID or has a rapid decay of spatial correlations. Multi-particle models remained out of scope in mathematical (and, surprisingly, physical) literature. Recently, Chulaevsky and Suhov (2007) proposed a version of the multi-scale analysis (MSA) scheme tackling the multi-particle case. I'll discuss one of results in this direction: localisation in the lattice (tight binding) multi-particle models for large values of the amplitude (coupling) constant.
